Not Just One

Chapter 28-Annie

"Take me to church. I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies."

Why the hell was someone playing music at, I check my phone. 2:54 AM.

"I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife. Offer me that deathless death. Good God, let me give you my life."

The house was silent, except for the music playing in the background.

I jump out my bed. Gwen had made the home phone play songs. Someone was calling. I dash down the stairs just barely making it.

"Hello?" I breathe into the phone.

"Hi this is Cara at Peak View Hospital, is this Mrs. Williams or Mr. Williams?" The voice responds, cheery.

"They aren't here. Can I take a message?" I ask.

"Yes, their daughter Gwen is here. She's fine. Just donated some blood to a friend in need. But we just needed to give them a call and inform them. She is one of the only sober ones here." The line dies.

"Shit, Gwen what did you get yourself into?" I snap.

I grab my purse and my car keys.

I grab my phone and dial the number. "Ryan I need you to come to Gwen's house now."

He hangs up with no response and 10 minutes later he pulls up.

He's silent waiting for me to tell him. "Drive to the Peak View Hospital."

He nods. I dial another number. "Kelyn?" I ask.

Ryan turns his head to me, now interested.

"What do you want Annie?" She snaps.

"I need you to do me a favor." I respond.

"Why the hell would I do anything for you?" She laughs.

"Because then when you need me, I'll be here." I respond, immediately regretting it.

"I'll hold that to you. Now what do you need?" She snickers.

"Some of my friends are in the hospital and they're calling parents. I need you to pay them off so that their parents won't get mad." I snap.

"I'll meet you there." The line dies.

"Annie my dear!" Kelyn gasps as I walk in.

"Did you do it?" I snap.

"Of course! Let's watch as parents come in asking about these kids." She smiles.

I roll my eyes and sit down. Ryan joins me and I lie my head on his shoulder.

I watch as people come running in. But it's a tall man that catches my eyes.

Followed by him are Gwen's friends. One of the injured ones parents. I watch as he demands for his son Will's information, the lady not giving him an ounce of information. He leaves and her friends walk over to me.

"How the hell did you guys find out?" One snaps.
